Hare Krishna Chanting believed to be by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

[Guest guest]

Also can and does the Namo Narayanaya mantra be sung like a keertan as hare krishna is??? >br>

Finally is Hari nama japa/sankeertan held in the same esteem in Sri sampradaya

as it is in Gaudiya sampradaya (who see it as the most important practice)

Humble pranam to all devotees:

Yes, we can chant the Hare Krishna mantra.

Chanting the holy names of the Lord is very much a part of our Sampradayam. Sri

Thondaradippodi AzhwAr's ThirumAlai is all about Chanting His names (Almost all

the AzhwArs, except maybe ThiruppAnAzhwAr have echoed similar thoughts). Our

PoorvAchAryAs have not explicitly mentioned about the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra,

but the Kalisantarana Upanishad has explicitly mentioned the Hare Krishna

Mahamantra. It is supposed to be a powerful Mantra. Yet, one should not

consider that it is the chanting that takes one to VaikunthA. It is the Lord

who takes us to VaikunthA (out of his causeless mercy, or Nir-hEtuka Kripa).

Chanting the "Om namo nArAyanAya" mantram can be performed formally only after

taking the Panchasamskaram (Initiation) from a Srivaishnava AchAryA.

Personally, I like the Hare Krishna maha mantram, as it is easy to sing with

tunes, the meters are perfect. It is a very big

advantage for the ISKCON movement, as it is simple, elegant and attracts

everyone, because of the music and the beats. If one looks at the history of

ISKCON, Swami PrabhupAdA began his movement just by singing the Hare Krishna

Mantra with a drum in the middle of a crowded park, the rest as they say is

history. On a seperate note, I am still amazed by his confindence in Krishna

and his Guru, and his commitment (I get the goose bumps sometimes). Coming to a

totally western country in the 1960s during the height of hippie movement not

knowing anybody or not having any possessions and building the biggest

Vaishnava movement ever (with the highest standards), all at the age of 70+,

surviving 2 heart attacks enroute, my God!!! Unfathomable. He was truly, really

empowered. Our sampradAyam needs AchAryAs like Sri PrabhupAda. -adiyen.

that that particular act will lead to moksham or salvation. Only Emberuman's

lotus feet are the solution. However, all these acts are performed as a service

(kainkaryam) to Him. Not for any other reason. However, in other sampradhayams,

especially in Gaudiya sampradhayam, Nama Sankeertanam is a means to attain

Krishna. Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan Azhwar Emberumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadikale

Humble pranam to all devotees.

 

Vimal Kumar Ranganathan said -

 

Yet, one should not consider that it is the chanting

that takes one to VaikunthA.

It is the Lord who takes us to VaikunthA (out of his

causeless mercy, or Nir-hEtuka Kripa)

 

The Gaudiya Vaisnava philosophy stresses on the

non-difference of the Lord from His name. Does that

not automatically mean chanting His name leads to

attaining His abode? What does the Sri Vaisnava

philosophy say about chanting the names of the Lord in

this connection?

 

Sri Sampath Kumar very rightly pointed out that the

chanting of the names of the Lord should not be done

with any motive other than to serve (please) Him.
